Chapter 580: with translation of chapter title

Ultimately, it's still just scheming.

Openly it won't work; secretly they resort to tactics.

Try as much as possible to vex Shazhu.

Jia Zhangshi had the idea of settling scores on Shazhu's several children, which was equivalent to her venting the resentment over Bangeng's arrest and imprisonment onto He Weiguo, He Xianghong, and others.

He also knew why Shazhu moved out of the Siheyuan: nothing more than worrying that Jia Zhangshi, desperate, would lash out and take revenge on the children.

In fact, Jia Zhangshi really did have such a thought: thinking that her obedient grandson Bangeng had been taken in, she asked Shazhu for help, but Shazhu not only didn't step forward, he even said sarcastic remarks, making her tremble with anger.

Laoqianpo, based on the age bracket when Bangeng went to the countryside, believed that Shazhu's eldest son and eldest daughter had also reached the age to go to the countryside to support construction.

Motives impure.

Thinking that your marriage, Shazhu, isn't happy, I'll let your children suffer a bit of injustice.

Intentionally causing harm.

Shazhu didn't dare to want it.

To let the tragedy of Bangeng and Xiao Dang be replayed on He Weiguo and He Xianghong, they deliberately separated the two to the far ends of the earth.

Yu Li instantly grasped the hidden meaning in Shazhu's words.

……

Just need to sit and wait for the result.

Shazhu didn't give a clear answer.

Thinking of Shazhu's daughter He Xianghong, fair and clean, at fifteen or sixteen she was already a well-known beauty; they wanted to ruin this girl, to take revenge on Shazhu to the fullest extent, and strike at Yu Li.

Earlier, they couldn't get Shazhu to pay for the neighbors' house repairs, bore a grudge against Shazhu, and hit upon the idea of his children; they wanted to secretly split He Weiguo and He Xianghong south and north behind Shazhu and his wife's backs, artificially creating a tragedy.

Yu Li, who had You Fengxia help cover her post, was really unable to tolerate Jia Zhangshi's petty tricks, and ran back to the Siheyuan to settle scores with Jia Zhangshi.

She hurriedly moved out of the back kitchen, and saw that where Yu Li had been standing, now You Fengxia stood.

You're the dog.

Damn bastard thing.

She quickly spoke up to advise.

She specially went to the Jiēdào to ask when this year's countryside-bound people would leave, why no notice had been issued to the Siheyuan, and she also gave herself credit, saying that to respond to the Jiēdào's policy she actively participated in managing the Siheyuan, letting the Siheyuan act as a vanguard in the Jiēdào's various tasks, claiming that Shazhu and his wife were busy with work and had no time to attend to these matters, and had entrusted Jia Zhangshi to help.

They said Shazhu had good awareness, said Yu Li had progressive thinking, said Shazhu's several children were excellent in every way, and also thought of going to the countryside to support construction; fearing that Shazhu and his wife might not agree, they specifically entrusted the Siheyuan neighbor Jia Zhangshi to handle this, letting Jia Zhangshi sign them up.

Knew that Yu Li still harbored resentment toward Jia Zhangshi in her heart.

'Wife, don't think too much about it—Jia Zhangshi is the sort of person who will naturally be dealt with; get back to work! In a moment I see we'll have guests.'

'Shazhu's wife isn't angry at you; she's taking it out on me. She won't hit you. For the sake of our fellow neighbors, just block her for me. Don't you remember earlier I was arranging for Lou Xiaoe and Shazhu to chip in to repair the neighbors' houses? Though it didn't succeed, it still expressed my old lady's good intentions.'

Not long after.

Yu Li also didn't know what was going on, mistakenly thinking Jia Zhangshi had gone mad, letting Thus: Thus: Mahua live in the Siheyuan, being as careful as possible around Jia Zhangshi, not falling for Jia Zhangshi's schemes, and when idle, helping to look after You Fengxia a bit more, since she's a girl and not as tough as a rough fellow.

The auntie used as a shield was so angry she felt like tearing Jia Zhangshi's heart out.

Jia Zhangshi, having learned the truth of the matter from the Jiēdào's mouth, felt exactly like that—her whole person was like a crab boiled in water, not knowing what to say.

Seemed a bit childish.

Indeed, things turned out just as Shazhu had anticipated.

Shazhu's heart.

The interface said a sentence.

She went to the back kitchen before and after Thus: Thus: Mahua, busily working to make a living.

There were some things.

But she was startled by the fierce intensity with which Yu Li had just grabbed a brick and swung it desperately at her.

The neighbors who had been ignored, just about to say something, immediately thought of Yu Li's grim face and guessed that something was happening.

'Ah!'

Thus: Thus: Mahua exclaimed in surprise, truly unaware that there was such a twist here, just like the neighbors, mistakenly thinking Jia Zhangshi was mourning the Jia family's misfortune.

Wiggling her buttocks.

In case the people couldn't control Yu Li and failed to snatch the brick from her hand, Jia Zhangshi still had the auntie in front of her who could act as a human shield.

Jia Zhangshi glared at the speaker.

But it showed Thus: Thus: Mahua's feelings toward Shazhu's family.

'I smashed their windows tonight.'

'I, damn it, tried to be kind and break up the fight for you, but you treat me as a sucker—you're despicable.'

The Jiēdào also knows.

Having said that much.

So infuriated.

Among the young people returning in dribs and drabs, many female comrades came back with big bellies, or else carrying or pulling children.

They had just crossed the junction of the front courtyard and the middle courtyard's gatehouse when they saw Yu Li waving a brick, aiming to smash Jia Zhangshi's dog head.

She jogged all the way into the Siheyuan.

Laoqianpo may look shameless, but she values her life all the more.

She was surely going to settle accounts with Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi was frightened by this reckless determination into becoming a second grandson.

She told the Jiēdào chief that she had already decided: Shazhu's eldest son would go to the Dongbei frontier, and his eldest daughter to the far Northwest.

How you say that.

She harbored grand ambitions to do something big, but couldn't offend Shazhu; after uttering a few apologies, she indicated she would seriously deal with Jia Zhangshi and give Shazhu a satisfactory explanation.

Fortunately there is no policy of sending to the countryside; if there were, after listening to Jia Zhangshi's nonsense, they would have sent He Weiguo to Dongbei and He Xianghong to the Northwest.

I'm not pushing you; I'm helping you.

The Jiēdào who had only been there a few days finally expressed regret to Shazhu.

And then he didn't bother.

According to Shazhu's guess, even if he said he wouldn't quarrel with Jia Zhangshi, the Jiēdào would still have to give Jia Zhangshi a proper scolding!

People are in a certain position.

After Qin Huairu married into the Siheyuan, whether it was her ability to handle affairs or her dealings with the neighbors, she left them with an indelible good impression; otherwise she wouldn't have been called a virtuous wife.

Someone greeted Qin Huairu at the gate, but she had no leisure to deal with them, sweeping past the neighbors like a wind and running toward Zhong Yuan.

They wanted to destroy He Xianghong.

The sound of crying.

Jia Zhangshi didn't believe it, insisting they were fooling her, until they produced a document stamped with a big red seal; only then did Jia Zhangshi grudgingly say something.

As Shazhu's disciple, Thus: Thus: Mahua often helped Shazhu look after the children, having held He Xianghong, and He Xianghong even urinated on Thus: Thus: Mahua.

The Jiēdào immediately broke out in a cold sweat upon realizing that Jia Zhangshi had taken him as a weapon to retaliate against Shazhu.

"What smashing glass, want to go in?" Shazhu waved at Thus: Thus: Mahua, indicating Thus: Thus: Mahua shouldn't take this to heart, "Get back to work!"

"Jia Zhangshi, let go of me, why are you pushing me?"

This is the only means Thus: Thus: Mahua could think of to retaliate against the Jia Family.

How could Shazhu fail to understand the meaning in the Jiēdào's words?

When he first took office, the Jiēdào felt proud to have a fine restaurant like Bai Xu in his jurisdiction.

Following Qin Huairu's steps, they also surged into Zhong Yuan.

This is why Shazhu doesn't let Qin Huairu cause trouble for Jia Zhangshi: looking at Jia Zhangshi, who is like a pile of dog feces, just one glance is disgusting, yet you still want to reach out and touch her—aren't you just asking for bad luck?

Qin Huairu looked at Shazhu, said nothing, and, following his meaning, took her position.

The booming business of Bai Xu.

As a mother, she becomes steel.

He said that when Bai Xu opens branch stores in the future, he will give priority to the Jiēdào's children.

Covered in dust and dirt, he returned to the Siheyuan, shut himself in his room, and thought about how unlucky the Jia Family was, that every bad thing seemed to be encountered by Jia Zhangshi.

He comforted Qin Huairu with nonsense.

It came from inside the Jia Family's house.

"She wants Weiguo and Xianghong to go to the countryside?"

Trembling, she tried as much as possible to avoid Qin Huairu, hiding her body behind a neighbor lady and using that lady as a shield.

But she never expected Jia Zhangshi's mind to be so vicious.

Jia Zhangshi's desire to kill Shazhu is not dead.

She said she was pleased that the jurisdiction had such an enlightened resident as Shazhu, understanding his family's feelings of contributing to the motherland, but now there is no policy of sending to the countryside; facing the request of He Weiguo and He Xianghong to go to the countryside, she could only apologize and tell them to study and take the college entrance exam, and after achieving academic success contribute to the motherland, saying that now all kinds of talents are needed, hoping He Weiguo and He Xianghong study hard and become useful pillars of the motherland.

The next day.

He guessed what Qin Huairu had gone to do.

Qin Huairu didn't say a word.

He Xianghong also doesn't have to go to the countryside.

The two were just making occasional conversation.

Playing petty tricks behind their backs.

Scorpion defecating, a one-of-a-kind.

It hit the throat.

Secretly registering He Weiguo and He Xianghong for the countryside behind Shazhu and his wife's backs was tantamount to touching Qin Huairu's reverse scale; Jia Zhangshi's fate was foreseeable by Shazhu.

The second matter: the Jiēdào planned to award this year's outstanding family honor to Shazhu.

It's not that Shazhu is shooting aimlessly.

My perfectly fine human brain, how come from your mouth it becomes a dog's brain?

Behind him were the neighbors' voices all discussing.

Shazhu told the newly arrived Jiēdào in detail what kind of person Jia Zhangshi was, what his relationship with her was, and so on.

He had thought he could send Shazhu's two children south and north to the countryside, but he hadn't expected the Jiēdào to tell Jia Zhangshi that such a policy no longer existed.

……

But in his heart he hoped Jia Zhangshi would die soon and be reborn quickly.

He came in high spirits and left in low spirits.

He Weiguo doesn't have to go to the countryside.

Jia Zhangshi is old, while Qin Huairu is young; if a fuss were to break out, Jia Zhangshi would be the one to suffer.

"Jia Zhangshi cries more than she urinates, because she went to the Jiēdào yesterday afternoon to register Weiguo and Xianghong for the countryside, but failed, causing this!"

The Jiēdào realized he was being used by Jia Zhangshi as a weapon to scheme against Shazhu, he was unhappy, and when parting from Shazhu he said he would give Shazhu an explanation.

Thus: Thus: Mahua told Qin Huairu about this as if it were a joke.

The Jiēdào again brought back more than twenty young people, among whom several families were not well off, lacking work and facing hunger.

The Jiēdào staff patiently explained the situation to Jia Zhangshi, who then had no choice but to accept the fact, realizing her scheme had collapsed again.

He deflected a few times.

He entered the Jia Family's house.

He saw Qin Huairu still wearing a grim face.

Besides, someone was holding Yu Li's body, someone was snatching the brick from Yu Li's hand, and voices of persuasion could be heard.

Thinking about having just met the street director on the road, he came to understand the truth.

First, ask Bai Xu whether they are still hiring.

The neighbors stared at each other, you looking at me, me looking at you, wondering whether Jia Zhangshi had been bullied; this crying sounded so shrill it could scare a ghost to death. Seeing Qin Huairu return from work, kind-hearted neighbors hurriedly told her what had happened, probing whether Qin Huairu knew about this.

Actually, it's just fear of death.

Could Shazhu, following the street's intention, absorb the recruitment quota within the street itself?

He gathered his heart inside his belly.

He was halfway through.

He said he didn't know how to read.

"Shazhu's wife, what's wrong with you? What happened that makes you come back heedless and want to smash Jia Zhangshi's dog head?"

You don't need to act yourself; some people who have designs on you will rush to act for you, and their methods will be more ruthless than you can imagine.

Shazhu saw this.

It sounded almost like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

With the idea of sacrificing himself to protect the children, he embarked on a resolute, selfless act.

Seeing anyone, he wore a smiling, squinty expression, calling them "big ma" or "little ma".

Yu Li was now in that state of fervent excitement, her whole body burning with hot blood, her mind empty of everything except one thought: to harshly teach Jia Zhangshi a lesson, smash his dog's head; otherwise Jia Zhangshi would turn his hands on her several children.

This honor.

Jia Zhangshi spoke with conviction, saying how enthusiastic Shazhu and his wife were, how full of dedication Shazhu's children were, saying that in the siheyuan she had heard Shazhu's several children say they would go to the harshest, most needed places to devote their youth to the motherland.

Being able to make the siheyuan's endlessly shrewish Jia Zhangshi cry more than she urinates shows the matter is not trivial.

Having parked his motorcycle, Shazhu, walking in from outside, happened to overhear the conversation between Yu Li and Thus: Thus: Mahua.

Shazhu had no intention of competing with the street; after saying a few pleasantries, he rode his motorcycle to Bai Xu, happened to overhear Yu Li and Thus: Thus: Mahua's conversation, and then, following their lead, revealed the truth of the matter.

He never expected the street's given reason to shock Shazhu.

"What help are you? You're just letting me take the brick for you."

The street director talked with Shazhu about two matters.

Liu Lan came in and said a sentence, asking why Yu Li wasn't in the front hall.

You and your family are all dogs.

He described bloodsucking as an achievement.

Used to manipulate the neighbors.

After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, she also cheered on those neighbors who were snatching the brick from Yu Li's hand.

"Dog-year granny, ox-year mom, horse-year mom, you must hold onto Shazhu's wife; be sure to grab the brick from Yu Li's hand—if it hits, you won't be able to bear it. My old woman is fine, but the elder Madame Zhao is innocent, and moreover, if Yu Li hits someone, she'll be arrested by Public Security and sentenced. You hold onto Yu Li, snatch the brick from her hand—not to help my old woman, but to help Yu Li."
